Key Stage: 4 ★★
Can you work out how many colours Charlie needs to make his attractive tablecloths, when they must satisfy different symmetry rules?

This resource has comprehensive teachers' notes and resources, linked from the problem page. This includes possible approaches and key questions, as well as possible support and extensions.
